Rabbi Shlomo Riskin –16/02/2014

I do not know of a better compendium of Jewish Law than Peninei Halakha by Harav Eliezer Melamed shlita. The clarity and organization of the legal requirements of Judaism makes the study of Jewish Law most pleasurable for any interested student. I recommend it with all my heart.

Douglas Wertheimer –22/04/2014

AFTER A FIRST ENCOUNTER with the writings of Rabbi ELIEZER MELAMED, even a reader unfamiliar with the Israelis 13-volume, practical halachic guides will feel no surprise that his works are so popular in Israel. In the just-released English translation of the Passover book, Rabbi Melamed presents a most appealing persona – moderate and judicious, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and respectful.
That would seem impossible today when the subject is the Laws of Pesah (Yeshivat Har Bracha/Maggid Books, 313pp., $29.95), but Rabbi Melamed manages in a clear manner to wend his way through the complex laws of Passover on an even keel, even relating his practical guidance to both Ashkenazic and Sephardic customs.
I would challenge the translators’ use of the word “kosher” as a verb in this otherwise fluid rendition of the Hebrew work, when the word ought to be, and usually is, “kasher” (thus JPS Dictionary of Jewish Words, 2001).
While the reader is grateful for an index, this one falls short not only in being divided in two, but in referencing chapter and sections rather than page numbers. I don’t have enough fingers to hold open all of the pages when looking up multiple subjects.

Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb –09/03/2015

For some years now, Rav Eliezer Melamed, the spiritual leader of the yeshiva and community of Har Bracha in Israel, has been publishing guidebooks which enable Jews with a very wide range of religious backgrounds to better observe halakhic practice…. I recommend this translation to the English-reading public. This series will educate and inspire the reader and help achieve a higher level of meaningful religious observance.
